This is B.S. Commandos get rocket launchers that will kill everyone and everything doing 1000+ dmg. Yet Devs are saying that we TKA's at master level will be only able to kill a stormtrooper and be a 50/50 chance to die while at it.

**edit**? They better quadriple our damage and defense if thats going to be true. Cos I know commandos and pistoleers need targets, but I am not paying to roleplay a target for mass destruction.

Devs I want an explanation to this.

Thats nothing, i saw a bounty hunter it for 10k dmg yesterday...

Ok i am a TKA but i have to defend my commando comrades here!

First the RL has a range of less than 15m so they have to be real close.

Second the RL has a spd of 9.0 to 11 if not more..so they take this long to fire the weapon.

Third, they then have a 15 sec cooling down period were they can do nothing but run.

Fourth,the get NO accurcy modifiers until Master Commando so they may miss 3 out of 4 times before hit the darn thing.

Lastly the RL have charges so when they run out you have to buy another 25k and up RL.

So if did this to TKA this is what You get.

TKA with VK that can only be used for 10 hits. these vks hit for 1000 dam Spd 10sec. Cost 25K pair.

Tka has 75% miss rate and after every attempted hit cannot do ANY function whats so ever for another 15s.

This would SUCK.

Commando get the big damage YES! but it is only useless under very limited but improtent situations. they have their role in the game - take out have artillary - they suck in every other field (no offense).

Look at PvP they would be hammered sitting there for 10 waiting for the RL to go off and if they miss dead.

PvE as soon as they target a creature and fire the creature has 10 sec to run and kill them. 15s to hit them while the cooling down period is on AND MOST mobs have WAY more that 1000 ham.

So why be a commando - because their weapon percie armor and can directly damage thing no one has a change of hurting.

Not knock the commandos they have been the most fubar profession out there. Now they are closer to being fix and everyone calls them Uber what BS.

Bottome line would you trade your TKA doing average 300 damage every sec for one that does 1000 dam every 30 ses(if they are lucky)?

PS TKA are not meant to take down ATST we are not the do everything profession. We have our role in a Battlefield so do Commando:

ITS TEAM WORK!

Sorry about the horrific spelling and gammar, i just got off a 14 hr shift and paramedic work is tiring ( but i love it)

Jesus...

I am a TK/Commando and if I have to start hearing TKs whine about Commandos, a profession that has been broken since launch, because they are getting big damage weapons so as to be the answer to AT-STs then I am really gonna scream.

If anyone of you that think the Commando profession is so great I invite you to see the nearest trainer....please. I will bet dollars to donuts you will drop it within a week,post an apology, and **edit**.

Well i now have an unarmed on the testcentre now cause on the whole it's an interesting concept. I do recall the devs saying several times that they weren't going to be making us any stronger or have more resistances but that we would be getting alot more evasion and doging capbilities to allow us some kind of defence against ranged fighters.

Street Racer,

Come on. Like the other people have said, Commandos have been real real real broken for awhile now.

My main concern with this post (and the thinking implied,) is that another class gets an uber weapon, so we are *owed* one too. This is the basis for "class envy" and gets nothing accomplished in the long run. If you browse the other Proffession forums, the other meleers see us as a) whiners and b) a pretty accomplished melee class.

While some may argue about point "b" I hate it that we are seen as whiners, and IMHO, posts like this just back this up.

Not a flame, Street, but more a concern on TKAs.

Remember, in EQ rangers had an issue or two that needed to be fixed, but still were a viable class. After the Ranger community ran around trying to convince everyone how much they were "gimped," everyone believed them. They would then wonder why no one would invite them to groups or raids and never realized that *they* were the ones who started it.

I know that TKAs could get some improvements, but I would hate to see us the laughing stock of combat proffessions due to *our* efforts in letting everyone else know how bad off we are. I would hate to see us not invited to raids on the advanced planets due to everyone hearing about how terrible we are as a proffession and not wanted to have a space filled up by a "gimped" TKA when it could be used by a droid or a CH pet...

We get NPCs that fight using Unarmed, and they have better range than PCs using Unarmed.

street racer, the other people may be polite, but im simply going to tell you how it is...

It is ignorant to think that TKA can be compared to each of the other 32 classes in this game and come up equal to them or better in every aspect. It is people like you who cry and bitch that ruin this forum that ONCE was informative and usefull, and now nearly a home for crybabies.

you knew what you were getting in to when you chose your profession. it does not take too many braincells to put together that tka would be poor in pvp, but here i'll hold your hand through it. carefull! its durn complikated for da unejakated. a) all characters run at a fairly even pace b) guns can be fired while moving c) tka does not use a ranged weapon. now, if we add this all together, we can see that tka should and does have a severe disadvantage of pvp.

maybe im just smart, but none of this was hidden when you started your character. hell, they even tell you exactly what you gain at every step of progression for every class. i can't comprehend how this was over your head soo deep that you felt a need to complain about it in an unconstructive manner.

AMEN!

nothing. stop whining. that rocket launcher is one of the things that makes a commando what it is. we should NOT get something because they have a heavy weapon. thats what commandos do. blow you away witha rocket. now, since they have to be close to their target, and they have long reload, if they miss you once, you will rip them apart. so no whining

Commandos are not my concern. If they get whatever I dont care. But what gives? We have to get something too. I am already sick and tired of being killed in pvp over and over by every single ranged weapon user or CH.

It other classes get improved (a lot especially) then we need to be improved too.
